SARAJEVO — Serb Orthodox Church Patriarch Irinej and Sarajevo Archbishop, Cardinal Vinko Puljic, on Sunday called for peace from a country that was the scene of the worst atrocities committed in Europe since World War II.
"We have to carry in ourselves the seeds of peace and plant them wherever we are," Irinej said during a liturgy in the main Serb Orthodox church of Bosnia's capital Sarajevo.
"The Church asked us to love every divine creature, since every human being is a divine icon. Respect of every human being is our task since he is the product of God's hands," said the patriarch who attended an annual gathering of the Catholic lay community of Sant'Egidio.
It was his first trip to the Bosnian capital since he became Serb Orthodox Church leader in October 2010.
